'''"The Gladiator"''' is the 107th [[The Phantom|Phantom]] [[daily story]].
The story was written by [[Lee Falk]] and drawn by [[Sy Barry]].

== Plot synopsis ==
The first strip claims that of many amazing tales in [[The Phantom]][[Bangalla|'s jungle]], including [[Redbeard]], [[Queen Samaris]] and [[Gandor]], "none [are] stranger than The Gladiator".

After a tough fight with bandits, [[The 21st Phantom]] falls asleep in a quiet shady glen. He is woken up by a terrified woman screaming about a thing attacking her husband, who faints. When she returns, the woman leads the Phantom to the corpse of her husband, and nearby [[Devil]] notices deep footprints, which the Phantom notes that only a man weighting a ton could leave. The woman explains that after the wedding the day before, the couple was leaving for their honeymoon when a human figure they could not easily see in the dark, aside from eyes "like burning coals", appeared on the road, claiming "None shall pass! Fight me until one of us is destroyed!" The husband did not want to fight, but threw his spear, which broke upon contact, prompting the figure to strangle him, and the woman tried to intervene, only to discover the thing's skin was like stone, injuring her hands before she decided to leave for help. The Phantom decides to escort the woman back to her village, whose terrified inhabitants claim to now be only women, children and the elderly after the same figure attacked during the night asking "fight or be destroyed", killing the males who responded. While everyone else escaped, one woman who tripped said the figure approached and said "Fear not. I only seek warriors. Destroy them or be destroyed". The Phantom leaves [[Hero]] in the village and departs to investigate alongside Devil.

Following a trail of dead animals, ultimately Devil barks as a figure with a sword approaches. Avoiding the slashes, the Phantom retreats to a clearing with moonlight to have a clearer view of his adversary, who turns out to resemble a Roman gladiator. The Phantom shoots him to no avail, before firing in the sword to disarm the adversary, and claiming the fight will be fairer bare-fisted. Punching the gladiator hurts the Phantom's hand, who notes it was like punching stone, to which the gladiator claims to be stone, "and you won't live enough to hear the explanation". Avoiding his attacks, the Phantom gets behind the adversary and grabs the back of his neck from behind to discover it has regular flesh consistency, and repeated hits to the nape make the gladiator fall. Threatening the gladiator with his own sword, the Phantom asks who his adversary is, and while noting "it's been so long since anyone asked me anything", he proceeds to tell his story.

Draconius was a native of Pompeii, who even witnessed firsthand the city's destruction by the Vesuvius, and fought as a gladiator in Rome's Colosseum, finding no equal match and becoming an idol of the Romans and vastly rewarded by the emperor. One day, a "barbarian holy man" sentenced to a public execution by beasts was repeatedly insulting the emperor, who proceeded to ask Draconius to execute the prophet. Draconius was reluctant to kill a disarmed old man, who also tried to convince Draconius to not to do so, and once Draconius said he had to do so because his emperor ordered, the old man responded "You have no soul. Like an insect. So be like them. Roam the Earth, destroy... until you're destroyed". Draconius killed him but soon the man's dying words echoed as he felt himself change, including his body getting heavier. Consumed by an urge to go after the strong, Draconius killed the emperor and slaughtered his guards. As Draconius realized he was now stone, he left confused and destroying what was in his path. Draconius spent 1800 years fighting whatever man or animal appeared in his path, none being able to hurt him, and even attempts at suicide through fall, drowning and fire failed. Until the Phantom was the first to find Draconius' weakness, with him explaining that in being cursed to be an "insect without a soul", he was now built like an ant, who for all its protection is vulnerable in its back.

Once he finishes his narrative, Draconius says it is relieving that he finally found the end of his curse. He asks the Phantom to get him back on his feet, and then attempts to strangle to Phantom, saying he won't let himself be destroyed so easily. The Phantom uses martial arts to get released from Draconius' grip and throw the gladiator away, who proceeds to fall on his head. Mortally wounded, Draconius expresses his relief and thanks Phantom for managing to defeat him. Once Draconius dies, the corpse rapidly ages to an old man, then decomposes to only a skeleton, which dissolves into dust, to the shock of the Phantom.

After a moment of confusion, the Phantom awakens in the same glen. He thinks such a weird story must have been a dream. But as he walks back into the jungle, the Phantom finds a deep footprint, making him startled that it might have been real after all.
